[Facial pain of cardiac origin].
Two cases of anginal pain limited to the mandible with secondary radiation of the pain to the neck and clavicular region are presented. Although the pain was initially diagnosed as odontogenic in origin, further historial workup suggest the suspicion of referred pain from coronary insufficiency. Appropriate medical referral confirmed diagnostic suspicions. Important aspects involved with differential diagnosis of referred anginal pain are also discussed.
